An object's two dimensional velocity is given by v(t) = ( t^2 - 2t , cospit - t )v(t)=(t22t,cosπtt). What is the object's rate and direction of acceleration at t=1 t=1?

"answer :"a(1)=(0,-1)answer :a(1)=(0,1)

Explanation:

d/(d t) v(t)=(color(red)(d/(d t)(t^2-2t)),color(green)(d/(d t)(cos pi t-t)))ddtv(t)=(ddt(t22t),ddt(cosπtt))

d/(d t) v(t)=a(t)ddtv(t)=a(t)

a(t)=(color(red)(2t-2),color(green)(-pi sin pi t-1))a(t)=(2t2,πsinπt1)

"solve t=1"solve t=1

a(1)=(2*1-2,-pi sin pi *1-1)a(1)=(212,πsinπ11)

a(1)=(0,-pi sin pi-1)a(1)=(0,πsinπ1)

sin pi=0sinπ=0

a(1)=(0,-1)a(1)=(0,1)
